You can't seamlessly go around a right angle. you have sew off the end and then turn the fabric and start over on the adjacent side. This is where starting with a couple stitches, leaving a long tail of thread to pull to get started is really helpful. right angles are not ideal with rolled hems. Thats why I make my napkins with a curved corner.
So after a lot of swearing, and research, and more swearing, and a lot of experimentation I managed to figure out how to do a mitred corner with a rolled hem presser foot. Seeing as you have to press the corners, and stop using the roller foot, then turn the corner, it seems only worth using the roller foot on longer hems. If you have a small square then the 2 traditional ways are better.
A $5 Bernina tweezers really helps me hold the fabric better!
huh...I'll have to try that. thanks!
Can you show how to sew that rolled hem around the right angled corner, please?
